they got highspent a goodly part of the afternoon discussing either or titles

                                                                                which they would prefer as an adjective describing them

intellect – genius

polymath – polyglot

was a polymath an intellect or genius a polyglot an intellect or genius

buddy insisted a polymath and polyglot were the same

patiently replied  I wasnt asking tha  I asked you to choose either or  between them 

buddy said a person can be both

                                    he rushed a Venn diagram pointed to the overlap

There . . .

There tha slim almond sliver overlap

                                          Thas a very small very select slice of people

Particular in America where fiftyfour percent of its adults he loved this part  played into his paedophile passion argument  ages sixteen to seventyfour cant read at a Fifth Grade level

                                                                         An by the way

You are not in either campbut if you possibly were which woud you prefer to define youyou either or  nobody else

Understand  Youre not being elusive

                                           More like thick  As a brick

buddy said hed choose a polymath

they agreed

                he put a finer point on it said that he wouldnt be a polyglot because One he had no interest in travel and Two Americans believe the whole world speaks English and expects the whole world to cater to them

briefly argued religion

                         I don’t think Jesus Christ was a real person.

He was                                                                     

Sound pretty sure for someone who is a devout got the joke but wanted to irritate him  let it go  atheist.

Being an atheist has nothing to do with knowing that there was a man called Jesus Christ

There was nothing written about him for two hundred years.

                                                                    He’s hearsay.

No

He exists in the Bible.

No

Quit. What’s proof of his existence?

Pontius Pilate I wont ever forget the name I think yoga every time I read Pilate

                                                                                   Hes proof He was the Roman prefect of Judea who tried a man called Jesus Christ an had him executed

You can check your phone if you like

                                         Pilate real  Jesus real

 

Either or  Learned or wise

How do you mean?

It doesnt matter how I mean its wha you meanyou

                                                         Ansince Im askin Ill say first  Wise

again buddy rushed another Venn diagram with an expansive overlay between the twoshoved it across the table between them

                       People can be both.

They can be

               Thas not wha I asked you again   Choose

Book learned, right?

Wise  Id say practical application of wha life has taught

                                                               Common sense

    Uncommon sense. yet another wink wink nod nod moment he let ride to irritate him

If you say

              Either  Or

I’d prefer to be known as Learned.

    funny where a couple edibles took them

they argued tinnitus

                        It’s a legit medical condition.

Youre go-to Medicine  Doctors

                                  Its not

Is.  Science.  Millions of people suffer it.

They neednt suffer

I think doctors know better than you.

                                        It's sai . .

. . By whom  Who

Doctors say.

Who have vested interest in someone seeking them

They . doctors say . . you’ll accept doctors?

Don be paranoia

                   Ja

Doctors say it ranges from a mild nuisance to a debilitating symptom.

    Symptom

Of underlying issues, conditio . .

. . Tha patients need to return to see them to discover vested interest  wha the underlying issue is

You’re harsh. Millions suffer chronic, burdensome tinnitus.

Drugs

I’m sure.

Doctor prescribed

                    Vested interest

Goddammit.  You’re beatin’ that like a dead horse.

Doesnt make it any less true

    People are suffering. sounded exasperated

Maybe if they accepted tinnitus rather than suffer it   Ambient music

                                                                             Emphasise tone  atmosphere

Slow repetitive rhythms

Accepted  A backdrop for relaxation  introspection

Thoughtfulness

Mindfulness

    Thall be fifty dollars

Sorry about the steep co-pay
